About The Position

A problem isn’t truly solved until it’s solved for all. That’s why Googlers
build products that help create opportunities for everyone, whether down the
street or across the globe. As a Technical Program Manager at Google, you’ll use
your technical expertise to lead complex, multi-disciplinary projects from start
to finish. You’ll work with stakeholders to plan requirements, identify risks,
manage project schedules, and communicate clearly with cross-functional partners
across the company. You're equally comfortable explaining your team's analyses
and recommendations to executives as you are discussing the technical tradeoffs
in product development with engineers.

In this role, you will be responsible for overseeing the Accelerated Funding
Workflow and managing the financial life-cycle of the Global Engineering Change
Management (ECM) program. You will serve as the fiduciary authority for capital
allocation, shifting the organization from a manual funding model to a
streamlined, pre-approved "pull" model.

Additionally, you will drive Product Readiness to ensure that engineering
changes are not just funded, but formally integrated into Google’s Plan of
Record (gPOR). You will proactively identify, organize, and lead funding
activities to ensure that critical engineering changes spanning safety,
reliability, and capacity are funded and implemented efficiently across the
global fleet while eliminating technical debt.
Behind everything our users see online is the architecture built by the
Technical Infrastructure team to keep it running. From developing and
maintaining our data centers to building the next generation of Google
platforms, we make Google's product portfolio possible. We're proud to be our
engineers' engineers and love voiding warranties by taking things apart so we
can rebuild them. We keep our networks up and running, ensuring our users have
the best and fastest experience possible.
